standard
edition
If part of a series, then this book carries rights to the remaining books of that series, but not to new publications. If not part of a series, then the book carries no rights at all.
deluxe
edition
This book edition comes with two tracks of rights. Series Rights (S) are for the remaining books in a series and Publisher Rights (P) are for future publications of Curious King. The latest book cannot be sold without both Series and Publisher Rights.
Consider the following example:
- You cannot sell The Fifth Season without Series and Publisher rights until you have pre-ordered our next publication, Hyperion.
- Once Hyperion has been purchased, you can sell The Fifth Season with only Series rights, not Publisher rights. Publisher rights are only attached to the latest publication.
- Numbers 1-150 come with both Series and Publisher rights.
- Any future publications of a specific book over 150 will only come with Series rights.
